École ATLA presents:

THE SUMMER SONGWRITING WORKSHOP 2019

FROM MONDAY JULY 8th to FRIDAY JULY 12th, 2019 IN PARIS, FRANCE

Are you a Singer-Songwriter looking to improve your writing and performing skills? Or are you a lyricist or composer looking for expert advice on developing your songs? Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a passionate newcomer, the Summer Songwriting Workshop 2019 in Paris, France is for you! My goal is to help you cultivate your creative potential in a friendly, professional environment with other like-minded songwriters. The city of Paris with its myriads of cafés, gardens and museums is a wonderful destination to explore and develop your creativity. The atmosphere in the City of Light will inspire you to create your very best work, and in the evenings Paris will entertain you with its nightlife, theatres and concerts at your doorstep wherever you stay. More than just a workshop, John Meldrum’s Summer Songwriting class is an immersion into the poetic nature of the world’s most beautiful city.
